It's time once again for the Note Card Party at Vee's haven.
Click here if you'd like more information.
In honor of the first day of summer I'm going with a
Relax and Enjoy the Garden theme.
Sometimes we get so busy planting, weeding, mowing and watering that we forget to stop and just enjoy the fruits of our labor.
Today you have my permission ;-) to take a break from the work and head out to the garden with a good book.

Sometimes it's nice to just sit and enjoy nature...
the bunnies hopping, the birds busily making homes for their babies, butterflies fluttering, flowers growing, wind chimes chiming ...
Perhaps you'd rather take a dip in the pool.
or sit and enjoy a good conversation with a friend.
Thanks for stopping by.
Wishing you a happy, fun-filled and relaxing summer :).
As always, thanks to Vee for hosting this fun party.

A beautiful garden and these photos would be so pretty as note cards.
ReplyDeleteHeavens' gardens must be awesome!!
Yes, I do think Aunt Barbara must be enjoying the gardens of heaven--her gardens were so lovely. The photos are beautiful!

ReplyDeleteHi Kim, Wow--what a gorgeous yard. I love the picture of the little girl on the bench. Hope you got that one when Aunt Barbara died... (Hope someone who loves gardening bought her home.)

Are your parents still in Fairfield Glade?
Hugs,

ReplyDeleteKim what great photos. What a beautiful statue of the little girl reading her book. And the pool looks really nice too. Sorry to hear about your Aunt. Thank you for visiting my blog and I became a follower of yours. You have a really lovely blog.
ReplyDeleteShe really had a beautiful garden. I am so sorry she passed...I know you miss her. These would be wonderful for notecards.
ReplyDeleteLove that fence :-)
ReplyDeleteAunt Barbara has a green thumb and knows how to cozy up the garden ~ a perfect choice for the notecard party.
ReplyDeleteHi Kim! So glad you visited me at The Writer's Reverie for my first Note Card Party post. It was fun to come up with it and I've enjoyed visiting others - thinking theme for next month. I have really enjoyed my visit with you and your recent posts - especially the bluebird post. So sad about the other eggs. We have wrens who do that in our yard - didn't know the sparrows did it, too. How do these little guys survive - but for the Lord!
ReplyDeleteJoy!

A book...in a lovely garden...beside the pool. Sounds perfect! And it makes for a wonderful collection of note card pic's!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful garden pictures. I could sit there all day. These photos make gorgeous notecards.
ReplyDeleteIf you packaged each of your picture notecards, I would be the first in line to purchase them. Really, what a gifted lady you are to be able to capture true beauty and then use your camera to share it with us. When I have a few extra moments, I would love to do Vee's notecards. All the ladies amaze me with their chose of selections.
ReplyDeleteRight now, I would love to catch a plane and join you in your aunt's lovely pool area. Another visit with you as added joy to my day.
Beautiful...I want to visit there! :-)
ReplyDeleteSo pretty and such peace!
ReplyDeleteAwww, what a beautiful garden she had.
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Donna
Oh Kim, the garden pictures at Aunt Barbara's house are so beautiful!!
ReplyDeleteYou can tell Aunt Barbara loved her garden. I was so taken with the statue of the little girl with braids reading her book. I was looking at myself at that age. Out in the garden on the bench reading my Nancy Drew Mystery books. (I still have them). Such a beautiful post. Thanks for visiting my blog too. I awoke this morning to a buck deer sleeping outside my studio.
ReplyDeleteHi Kim!
ReplyDeleteI love that statue and have been looking for one just like it. Good thing I live nowhere near Aunt Barbara's house...lol. She had a beautiful garden. How nice that it can come to life again for a little while on your blog.
I have started a new blog as mine was full and hope to see you there...
Hugs from Holland ~

Barbara's yard evokes such charm and sweetness. I am sorry to read that she passed. She is loving an even more glorious garden now.
ReplyDeletemuch love,
Becky
What a beautiful garden! How nice that you could share her garden with all of us! Her garden will forever be in cyberspace while she tends her heavenly garden. Yes, she did have a flair for decorating!
